cum or come?

and this is why you rarely get laid.

ok. how bout "coom"?
huh?
huh?

Times like this I wish I had an Oxford English Dictionary lying around.

It's pronounced the same both ways, does it matter how it's spelled? Unless you're sleeping with a mute that writes it out on a little pad of paper, it's not really too important.

I think the real answer is in the past tense. if someone says s/he "came,", then yay! but if s/he "cummed," then I just want to put on a trucker hat and do a gap-toothed hoedown. disgustor.

You have the internet, though. Http://www.dictionary.com is excellent. I use that site really frequently.

when i was in seventh grade i was asked this in gym. the correct answer is the one you dont say, and then your friends can laugh at you.

James Joyce, for whatever it's worth -- who is one of Mei's favorites, if I remember right -- chose the more conventional spelling in an erotic letter to his wife Nora:

"Let me, dear, for I have told you everything I ever did and so I can ask you in turn. When that person [Joyce means Vincent Cosgrave] whose heart I long to stop with the click of a revolver put his hand or hands under your skirts did he only tickle you outside or did he put his finger or fingers up into you? If he did, did they go up far enough to touch that little cock at the end of your cunt? Did he touch you behind? Was he a long time tickling you and did you come? Did he ask you to touch him and did you do so? If you did not touch him did he come against you and did you feel it?"

I hope she numbered her replies.

cum : (prep + abl.) with.

Latin dictionary


come- often vulgar : to experience orgasm
English dictionary.

LOL!!!!

It could go either way, but I like to separate 'cum' for dirty filthy sex talk and 'come' for normal everyday use. I used to dislike 'cum,' but now I find I use them interchangeably. It also sort of depends on whom I'm writing to... some people give me more of a 'cum' vibe, while others are obviously a bit more uptight and they get 'come.'

God, this topic is making me hot. I think I'm gonna... ohhhh!

Spackle.

I love how judgemental the fucking dictionary is.

And ... when it says "often vulgar," does it mean "but not always"? When is it vulgar, when is it not?

maybe merriam- webster sees it as ValCapone does

So you have to whisper, "I'm gonna cum -- and I mean that with a 'U'!"

this minutia only matters if you're coming/ cumming in a chat room

In Victorian times it was politely known as Qume....

That sounds ... gelatinous.

Yes, but "cummed" even sounds gelatinous.

I always was distracted by this in latin class. Saw the word "cum" in the book, started thinking about sex, which lead to me daydream about fucking random girls in my class even more than I already did, daydream that is. I wonder why I didn't do so well in that class.

Anyway, I use the word cum or come interchangeably when the female orgasm is concerned. For male ejaculate I affectionately use the term man-naise.

OMG I HAVE SO TOTALLY MISEDITED THIS POST.

NOW IT WILL DIE.
